You originally said it was overkill to use my lock class and then went on to show your shell script doing similar. To which I then responded try running the shell script in windows. To which you've now suggested installing cygwin. Thus you have suggested a shell script and cygwin to accomplish what a simple lock class easily achieves in both linux and windows. It all goes back to that original argument you brought up where you said the lock class was overkill. I haven't even commented on the complexity added by introducing a second technology (And third now that cygwin is on the table). I'm sure this is a prime example for the application of Occam's Razor.
